Chapter 144

"Sure.. I'll come pick you up" Scott says and Ashley hangs up but holds the phone to her chest for some seconds smiling

Ashley pulls on her flip flops and waits for Scott.

Few minutes later

Ashley hears a knock on her door and she smiles knowing it's Scott

"Hey you" she says to Scott and beams happily. Scott smiles at her "hey" he says as he takes her hand and they leave.

<><><><><>

Ashley and Scott walk down the lonely street.

Ashley sees a short fence and turns to Scott who looks back at her

"What's the matter Ash?.. is something wrong?" He asks her and she looks at the fence and walks towards it

Scott wonders where she's going and follows after her

She stops in front of the fence

"Help me to sit on it Scott" she says to him and holds her by the waist carries her up and places her on the fence

She sighs enjoying the warm breeze on her skin

Scott can't help but admire her looking like this

She looks at him for some seconds

"You love me right?" Ashley asks Scott "yes I do love you Ash" he says without hesitation and she nods 

"You're sure you love me?" She asks him again

"I've never been sure about anything in my life as much as I'm sure of my love for you Ash" he says making Ashley smile at him

I  want to give you a chance to love me Scott. I want you to be a new chapter in my life" Ashley says  

And Scott looks very surprised at Ashley's statement

"I want to move on with my life. I don't want my experience with Kimberly to stop me from finding happiness again. I deserve to be happy and you.. you make me happy Scott" Ashley says and giggles 

Scott can't help himself but smile at the Ashley he's seeing in front of him

"I promise you won't regret it Ash.. you're an amazing girl and I love you, your weirdness and everything about you" Scott says and Ashley pulls him in for another kiss which he gladly accepts

"Sash.." Gangtae says as she gets into the car with him. "Hey.. thanks for showing up as you said" Sasha says and Gangtae chuckles

"So where do you wanna go?" Gangtae asks Ashley

"Uhmm maybe to play basketball?" Sasha says and Gangtae is taking aback

"Basketball?" Gangtae asks her again to be sure of what he heard before

"Yes.. maybe you could teach me a trick or two" she says and Gangtae looks shocked at her request

"Sasha.. are you alright?" He says looking at her with a concerned face

"Yes.. I am. I've always loved basketball but I loved it more because Adrian plays it as well" Sasha says and Gangtae feels bad but nods in approval anyway

"But now...I just want to love basketball for basketball not because of Adrian" Sasha says

"Okay" Gangtae says a little bit relieved that she's not interested in basketball because of Adrian

"Let's go then" Gangtae says as he heads for a basketball court around Sasha's area

<><><><>

Gangtae pulls up at the basketball court and helps Sasha out of his car

"Do I need to take off my heels to practice?" Sasha asks Gangtae and Gangtae chuckles 

"No you can keep them on.." he says as he starts to bounce a ball

"Catch" he says as he throws the ball to her and she catches but stumbles back a bit and Gangtae chuckles again as he walks up to her

"You need to work on your balance Sash" he says to her holding her on her waist from behind helping her to stand properly. He gulps when he realizes how close they are but he still helps her find her balance

"So how do I shoot?" She asks him "for a good shot.. you might need to stand in the middle of the court to shoot" he says and she looks at the net which looks very far from where she's standing 

"Don't worry I'll help you" Gangtae says as he guides her to the middle of the court and he stands beside her guiding her hand up

"Keep your eyes on the net and trust yourself. Don't feel jittery and go for it" Gangtae says to her and she keeps her focus on the ball removing all of the doubts in her mind and then she shoots scoring a point

She squeals in excitement and hugs Gangtae standing on her tip toes. Gangtae is surprised by what she does but wraps his arms around her waist

She takes things further by kissing him on the cheek and Gangtae's eyes widens

"Sasha.." he says "thank you so much for helping me Tae" she says excitedly and he smiles at her

"You're very welcome Sash" he says and she beams happily as she continues to try to shoot balls into the net and Gangtae watches her with an amused expression

Gangtae's POV

I just wish Sasha will always be like this. This side of Sasha is very beautiful. Her carefree attitude and her smiles when she's so happy look so good on her.

I really wish she won't go back to her former attitude because of her obsession for Adrian.

She should just remain the way she is right now.

I watch her bouncing the ball again and she scores another point. She looks so happy and proud of her achievement

I wish I could tell her how I feel about her. I've always loved Sasha from high school

AUTHOR'S NOTE ❤️🥰❤️🥰🤗🤭✨✨✨💫💫

It seems like Sasha is Finally warming up to Gangtae and it's a good thing right?

Ashley is making a very good decision by starting things afresh with Scott and I wish them all the best in their relationship

As for Kelly and Adrian.. I really don't know how far Adrian will go to get Kelly back and if Kelly will accept him and trust him again
